Grex Accordions Item 89: Accordions sweet sorrow?
Entered by raven on Sun Jul 16 02:47:10 UTC 1995:

        Hey where is everyone?  I want to romp and play my accordion
but lately there's been no one to jam with in this conf.

59 responses total.

I think they've all gone to river.org. They sometimes pop in, though.

Hi.  I got swamped on the River.  Only now coming up for air.
Nice to see <humdog> back.

hehe

I see where you are listed as a prime mover there, Shannon.
Projects like that can be a lot of work. Welcome back.

#9 of 59 by vsclyne on Mon Aug 28 01:53:16 1995:

"Prime mover", sounds like a pseud or a laxative.

(Considering using one or the other.)

#10 of 59 by juls on Wed Aug 30 16:08:46 1995:

Okay, then how about "Uncaused Cause"?

#11 of 59 by srw on Thu Aug 31 04:45:59 1995:

Factotum?

#12 of 59 by juls on Thu Aug 31 19:23:14 1995:

Grand Pooh-Bah?

#13 of 59 by raven on Wed Sep 20 05:39:56 1995:

        Raven has waited for over 2 weeks to find someone to play his
electric mandolin with.  There being no accordion players he shuffles
off to (the) Agora to find a bard in the marketplace.

WAIT!

#15 of 59 by srw on Thu Oct 5 08:22:15 1995:

Ah ha! You returned. Check out agora item #37.

#16 of 59 by juls on Sun Oct 8 19:30:53 1995:

How long have I been asleep, anyway?

#17 of 59 by srw on Mon Oct 9 07:32:34 1995:

38 days. I get a headache when I oversleep. You could have a doozy.

#18 of 59 by brenner on Mon Oct 23 16:18:59 1995:








Agora?  I didn't know there were other
conferences on grex!

#19 of 59 by juls on Sat Oct 28 15:40:28 1995:

Oops, dropped off again.

#20 of 59 by srw on Thu Nov 2 08:30:10 1995:

Perhaps caused by jet lag?

#21 of 59 by brenner on Fri Nov 10 06:51:28 1995:




flurry maps paused at let jag?

#22 of 59 by brenner on Fri Nov 17 08:51:28 1995:


Wow. Quiet.

                                                Too
                                                        Quiet

#24 of 59 by srw on Sat Nov 18 08:14:39 1995:

I am still trying to parse "flurry maps".

#25 of 59 by raven on Tue Nov 21 05:09:31 1995:

        When accordions turn to dust
        the keys & stops do rust
        the bellows doth rot
        the festivals of summer we forgot
        to the river they went
        the quiet does not seem heaven sent

<scott makes a soft, collapsing wheeze>

#27 of 59 by selena on Wed Nov 22 05:38:32 1995:

        *sigh*

#28 of 59 by brenner on Fri Jan 5 21:37:30 1996:



(Wild Applause!)

#29 of 59 by selena on Sun Jan 7 12:24:34 1996:

<Selena, if allowed, hugs brenner>

#30 of 59 by brenner on Wed Feb 21 09:01:28 1996:

BEams!

#31 of 59 by selena on Fri Feb 23 19:05:57 1996:

Is that allowed, then?

#32 of 59 by brenner on Wed Apr 10 00:10:15 1996:


No one cries when you chop up an accordion.

#33 of 59 by raven on Sat Jan 25 04:54:11 1997:

Yes but accordion firewood only heats the house for a day, what is to be done
for the rest of the winter?

#34 of 59 by otaking on Sat Jan 25 12:44:36 1997:

How about alpine horns? They're certainly big enough. (You can't squeeze
'em though.)

#35 of 59 by raven on Wed Feb 5 23:19:03 1997:

The last time I burned an alpine horn I was chased by a ghastly ghost in
green suspenders, holding a large mug of 500 year old lagar.

#36 of 59 by srw on Thu Feb 6 05:15:58 1997:

Talk about skunky beer...
So I gather you don't burn them very much any more these days?

#37 of 59 by raven on Thu Feb 6 15:39:35 1997:

No I don't, however crumhorns and fortepainos make an excellent bonfire (and
such nice overtones as well). :-)

#38 of 59 by otaking on Fri Feb 7 13:19:25 1997:

For those who don't have instruments for the fire but can getchemical
warfare supplies, use napalm. Yes Napalm, better than a microwave.
Just coat it on a stick, put on a marshmallow or some hot dogs and
watch 'em cook from the inside. MMMMM. Goes great as a chaser for 500
year old beer too (and probably not as toxic).
